For which value of b will the quadratic equation x^2 — bx + 16 = O have

Answer:

b = 10

b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Usually, when you want two different integer solutions, you probably want the quadratic to be factorable.

So what we want to know is that b should be the sum of the factors in 16.

Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Factor pairs:

  • 1, 16
  • 2, 8
  • 4, 4

Factor Sums:

  • 17
  • 10
  • 8

These are our possible b-values.

Check:

Let's try 17 first:

  • x² - 17x + 16 = 0
  • (x - 16)(x - 1) = 0
  • x = 16, x = 1

Now 10:

  • x² - 10x + 16 = 0
  • (x - 8)(x - 2) = 0
  • x = 8, x = 2

And finally, 8:

  • x² - 8x + 16 = 0
  • (x - 4)(x - 4) = 0
  • x = 4, x = 4

Since x = 4 is a repetitive integer, we cannot use 8 as a value for b.

The answers are b = 10, and b = 17.

Tell wether the ordered pair (5,-3) is a solution of the system -3x+2y=-21;-x-y=-2
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

(5,-3) is a solution of -x-y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You just plug in the numbers in the equation

x=5 y=-3

-5(5)+2(-3)=-25-6 which doesn't equal -21

-5-(-3)=-5+3=-2

Miley can walk 5 1/2 miles and 1 2/3 hours how far can she walk in four hours?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Miley can walk a distance of 13\frac{1}{5} miles in four hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance walked by Miley in 1\frac{2}{3} hours = 5\frac{1}{2} miles

We will find unit rate in term of hours.

\frac{5}{3}\ hours = \frac{11}{2}\ miles

Multiplying both sides by 3/5

\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{3}\ hour = \frac{11}{2}*\frac{3}{5}\\\\Unit\ rate = \frac{33}{10}\miles\ per\ hour

Distance walked in four hours = 4*\frac{33}{10}\ miles

Distance walked in 4 hours = \frac{66}{5}=13\frac{1}{5}\ miles

Hence,

Miley can walk a distance of 13\frac{1}{5} miles in four hours.
